The Light that Waits
by Michal Mahgerefteh
March 28, 2011
sing to me
as I lie under eastern skies
wonder about unspoken truths
the fossils of life
how they erupt in a blaze of verses
releasing raw memories
sing to me
as I peer into the Eye of Infinity
no ending days of ticking clocks
emptiness in the comfort that I seek
my attention perceives only
wordless wealth of images
sing to me
as my russet eyes behold the spine of books
sprung from clusters of Fig and Apple
tenets of faith burst colors of royalty
a gift from the magical vineyard
ripples every step
sing to me
as the hymns of the Three Fallen Voices
nestle within my mortal eart
he yolk-root deepens into midori green
till the ten attributes of Sephirot
are completely understood
